Google Search Algorithm Ranking Volatility Around May 17th (Unconfirmed)
For the past couple of days or so, maybe starting as early as May 16, 2023, through today, May 18, 2023, I am seeing significant signs of another unconfirmed Google search ranking algorithm update.
I am seeing these signs both from SEO industry chatter across the forums and also based on the automated tracking tools. Some were a bit late to spot this volatility but I believe the bulk of it began on Tuesday, May 16th, and then more noticed yesterday, Wednesday, May 17th and now we are still seeing it today, May 18th.
